What's wrong with that? It looks like a standard Alanland state route Acorn shield to me.

He said, "Madam, I just clocked you at 22 MPH," and she said "That's the speed limit," he said "No ma'am, that's the route numbah!"  - Gary Crocker

Goats for the state routes, top hats for the second'aries. Except for the interalanland and extra'alanland routes.

Whoa! An old Budweiser type bowtie shield? Perhaps this should go into a new thread called "The Most Bizzare of Road Signs" instead or worst.
Finally upgraded to Expressway after, what, seven or so years on this forum? Took a dadgum while, but, I made it!

I can't stop laughing.

I've seen plenty of other "acorn" shields, both 2-digit and 3-digit, in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania seems to be the primary offender for acorn shields.  I believe I've seen one in Indiana as well, but cannot confirm offhand.

Tennessee needs to get rid of their "acorns" also.  Those "acorn" US shields look absolutely hideous!

There are some shields in Kansas (U.S. 166 near Sedan comes to mind, unless they've been replaced) which were even pointier if you can imagine that. The tops of the shields, though, were somewhat normal. They looked as though they started the bottom curves of the shield too high and tried to make the point come out at the same place as a normal shield.

I remember seeing "acorns" somewhere in Tennessee (it has been over 5 years ago) but, yes, they need to get rid of those also.

I don't know what's worse.. the horrible inter-letting spacing in "TRAIL", or the fact that it definitely uses Arial (or Helvetica).
